Golf Course Advisory Board Minutes March 17 2014 Page 3 of 6 Coal Creek hits a sweet-spot for demographics, course layout and value. With a coherent strategy and good implementation of a business plan we should be successful. The Board was very impressed by the presentation and encouraged Staff to consider funding additional services from Golf Convergence including focused surveys. Staff was encouraged to set up a meeting within the next few weeks that includes the Board and Key Stakeholders (Men’s and Ladies Leagues) to share more views. 7Staff Update a) Status of WGP Termination. Staff has arrived at a final Agreement on termination terms with WGP subject to a final review by WGP and formal acceptance by City Council Final approval is expected at the April 1 Council meeting. Some final wording needs to be agreed on indemnification to the City should any unforeseen pre-existing conditions arise such as hazardous waste. The Agreement includes funds to reimburse Summit Club members, Peak Players and Gift Card holders for unused value. City Staff will compile a list of creditors and send letters once the deal is concluded. b) Work in FEMA approval, overall, is on schedule. Some parts are ahead th and some behind. Staff completed a 5 tour of the course with FEMA Staff and we are now ready for FEMA to create the Project Worksheets. Stormwater Permits are in place from both the City and the State, Army Corps of Engineers approval is complete pending a final walk-through. No issues were uncovered by an Environmental and Historical Protection inspection, subject to a final walk-through, Flood Plain and Grading permits are pending. Staff is comfortable that permits will not delay the start of work and noted that FEMA is working to a new set of regulations (dated September 4 2013) and as a result some caution is being exercised to make sure no incorrect precedents are set. c) LU Project Schedule and Checkpoints. LU sees no change to the project schedule. Basic work is due to start this week and notices have been issued by the City that the entire Golf Course (and Coal Creek Trail) is designated as a building site, fences will be erected and public access is prohibited on penalty of a substantial fine. The Public have become used to using the course for walking and other recreational activates so tactful enforcement will be needed. It is still expected that grassing can start in July.
